The Moneta Merchants were too strong for the Mechanicals Sunday, beating them by a score of 9 to 3. The Athletics, with the mighty Don Smith in the box, were shut out by the San Pedro Sand Crabs. Following is the individual batting averages of the Anaheim team since the organization of the Southern State League. Notwithstanding the averages published in the Los Angeles Record four of the locals are batting over 300—Haber, 455; Fisher, 368; Hendricks, 364; Huntington, 304. The batting average of the team is a trifle over 272.

NOTES OF THE GAME It was worth the price of two admissions to the fellow who had it: Umpire Cleveland did a fairly good job—at least he attempted to be fair. Vic Lamont was in attendance but owing to the fact that his wife was with him he was very calm. Two or three of Fisher's admirers were heard to remark that they considered the game he played Sunday to be about the best in his base ball career. With his usual degree of accuracy "Press Agent" Mueller published the batting and fielding averages of the Southern State League in last Saturday's Los Angeles Record. Anaheim as usual, was given the worst of it. Huntington was the only player whose batting average was given at 300 or better, when in fact at the time those averages were tabulated four of the locals were batting over 300 and one of them over 400. Before the season is over, however, the "press agent" will probably know that Anaheim is on the map and is represented by a pretty fair ball team. The small crowds that are attend- LOCALS WIN PRETTY GAME Beat Fraternals of Los Angeles by 2 to 0 Score. The game Sunday was just about as classy a one as the most rabid fan cares to see. In only one inning, the third, was there any scoring, and in that frame the locals earned two runs on three hits—singles by Lewis and Hendricks and a beautiful two-bagger by Haber. The visitors were dangerous in two or three different innings, but failed to score by either good work on the part of the locals or by boneheaded base running on the part of the visitors. In the fifth the Fraternals were exceedingly dangerous when they succeeded in getting the bases full with only one out. Thompson, their fast shortstop, was on third and attempted to score on the hit and run system, but the batter failed to do his share of the work and Mr. Thompson was met by Mr. Gerkin about six feet from the plate and gently handed a small boquet. The next man up was an easy one at first, Mr. Carpenter to Mr. Hendricks. After that the visitors were a thoroughly tamed bunch, and not without reason, as Mr. DuBois was dishing them out a lovely bundle of pills of all sizes and colors. In fact, "Rummy" was there with the goods and was ably assisted by a number of other gentlemen who were playing the game of which they have long been suspected of being capable. The locals gathered in seven hits off of Waite, the visiting pitcher, Hendricks, Haber and Carpenter each getting two, one of Haber's being ticketed for two stations, and by the way that old boy is sure some ball player and the way he covers left field and swats that ball is something beautiful to behold. DuBois only allowed three hits and two walks and as the locals were playing a pretty good game behind him, it is quite evident that there was a reason for the visitors inability to acquaint themselves with home plate. While other players may do more usual, was given the worst of 't. Huntington was the only player whose batting average was given at 300 or better, when in fact at the time those averages were tabulated four of the locals were batting over 300 and one of them over 400. Before the season is over, however, the "press agent" will probably know that Anaheim is on the map and is represented by a pretty fair ball team. The small crowds that are attending the games is very discouraging to the management. The collections have not met the expenses so far this season and the consequence is that members of the board of directors have had to put up money out of their own pockets to keep the team going. Now that the locals are tied for first place, lend them your assistance in every way possible. The team now representing Anaheim is one of the strongest the town has ever had and with the proper encouragement will lead the league at the close of the season. ATTACK VALIDITY OF STANTON TOWN ATTORNEY-GENERAL GIVES HIS CONSENT TO ACTION Complaint Filed in Court Alleging irregularities in Action of Supervisors in Calling Election to Vote upon incorporation—Incorrect Date Printed in Original Notice—Trump Cards up Sleeve of Men Fighting New Town—Bitter Legal Warfare Begins Suit to annul the incorporation of the city of Stanton has been filed in the superior court of Orange county, Attorney-General Webb having given consent so to do. Raymond Benjamin, Webb's chief deputy, accompanied by John D. Pope of Los Angeles and Homer G. Ames of this city, appeared in the County Clerk's office some days ago and filed papers in the action. The state of California and Walter J. Cole, a tax payer of the City of Stanton, are plaintiffs, and the defendants are the trustees of that city and the board of supervisors of Orange county. The complaint recites errors in procedure on the part of the supervisors, and asks annulment of the municipality, with costs. It alleges that the notice of filing of the petition was not properly signed nor published, and that the notice of the hearing of our day's Los Angeles Record. Anaheim as usual, was given the worst of 't.

While other players may do more spectacular work at times than Gerkin he is without doubt the most valuable man on the team. He does not, as most catchers do, work his pitcher too hard; is a sure thing on foul flys, a good thrower and is beginning to hit the pill with considerable regularity. Fisher was out of the game Sunday owing to a bum mitt. His place at second was filled by Huntington and "Bill" Beatty was put in right-field for a try-out, but didn't have a chance in the field and did not prove a howling success with the stick. Next Sunday the locals will go to San Pedro where they will mix it with the Sand Crabs. This will be the first away-from-home game and a large number of rooters are making arrangements to accompany the boys.

Cole, a tax payer of the City of Stanton, are plaintiffs, and the defendants are the trustees of that city and the board of supervisors of Orange county. The complaint recites errors in proceedure on the part of the supervisors, and asks annulment of the municipality, with costs. It alleges that the notice of filing of the petition was not properly signed nor published, and that the notice of the hearing of petition contained an error in date, that during the course of the publication the words "Tuesday, the 5th day of April," were changed to Wednesday, the 5th day of April," the attorney for petitioner having made the mistake in the day. This error, which was called to the attention of Attorney Hanlon, counsel for petitioners, at the time, and by him held to be immaterial, seems to have been considered of sufficient moment by Attorney-General Webb to grant application for bringing suit for a writ of review. This point is not the only one to be charged against the validity of the incorporation, nor, indeed, is it considered among the strongest to be urged in court, but seems to have been strong enough to merit attention of the attorney-general. To a layman this error might seem to be a fatal defect. Supreme court decisions are cited in similar instances holding such error to be fatal. Complaint alleges that, when the fifth day of April arrived, the Supervisors were not in session, they having gone to Los Angeles, when petitioners and protestants were in attendance ready to join issues in the case. The regular meeting of the board being on Tuesday, April 4, the board evened matters by skipping the fifth of April, and meeting on Thursday, April 6th.

An election was called and after a bitter fight the town was organized by a majority of few votes. Residents of the town have since then been in conference with a view to disorganizing. Two months ago John D. Pope of Los Angeles and Homer G. Ames were retained to take the matter up with the attorney-general. Attorney Ames went to San Francisco and personally interviewed Webb, filing with him a copy of the complaints. W. J. Hanlon, representing Stanton, also arrived his case before Webb. In the bitter legal battle before the superiors in April, Hanlon slipped one over Ames. In the argument before the attorney-general, Ames seems to have returned the compliment. Published statements that citizens perintendent, and Secretary were each on motion accepted and ordered filed. A motion was carried that a warrant be drawn on Treasurer in favor of August Toussau, for $230.00, same to cover refund on rental and damage to crops on the La Habra Reservoir site, for seasons of 1910-11 and 1911-12, on account of operations for the development of oil. Superintendent Porter reported trouble along the ditches from which the trees along the right of way have been cut by the adjoining property owners. Attorney Keech was requested to submit an opinion on the rights of the company regarding the trees along the rights of way in question. Secretary Armstrong tendered his resignation, to take effect on February 1st, 1912, as it is his intention to locate at Vancouver, Canada. On motion of Hale, seconded by Bradford, appointed Secretary, to take charge on February 1st. The Pacific Telephone Company of Fullerton submitted a new contract to be signed on account of the porposed move of the telephone at the Headgate. The matter was referred to the Superintendent. The application of Henry Eaert for the purchase of cement pipe was on motion granted. Henry Schulte appeared before the Board and made request for construction of a pipe-line about 3200 feet in length. The request was referred to the Ditch Committee to investigate and report at the next regular meeting, and to employ an engineer to ascertain the grade necessary. On motion of Drake, the land at Pumping plant No. 2 was leased to take the matter up with the attorney-general. Attorney Ames went to San Francisco and personally inter-reviewed Webb, filing with him a copy of the complaints. W. J. Hanlon, representing Stanton, also argued his case before Webb. In the bitter legal battle before the supervisors in April, Hanlon slipped one over Ames. In the argument before the attorney-general, Ames seems to have returned the compliment. Published statements that citizens of Anaheim are at the bottom of the case are untrue. It is a fight, pure and simple, between residents of Stanton. This city has nothing to do with it. Superintendent Porter reported trouble along the ditches from which the trees along the right of way have been cut by the adjoining property owners.

The motion carried. The Byron Jackson Iron Works submitted a draft of an agreement for the proposed installation of a 100 H.P. Motor and pump to force water up Placentia Ave. from the proposed reservoir at Pumping Plant No. 2. The matter was left for further consideration. Mr. Bradford reported that the location of the well on the Gomber Tract had been decided upon, and that work would commence on same immediately. The Reinforced Concrete Pipe Co. submitted a bid on the proposed construction of a pipeline on Placentia for seven cents. The buyer put it in a crate and shipped it off to town; the railway charged ten cents for freight, and got the money down. Then divers kinds of middlemen passed that old squash along, and each one got a rake off then, in which they saw no wrong. The jobber to the grocer sold that squash one autumn day, and it was scarred and bruised and old, and tending to decay. The farmer man who raised that squash to town came on his wheel; at dinner time he said: "B'gosh, I'll have a good square meal." So to a restaurant he sped, and ate some squash on ice, and then he stood up-on his head when he was told the price. "Your price on squashes makes me hot," he cried; "your game is bunk.
